Description

導電性漿料、電子零件、及層積陶瓷電容器    Conductive paste, electronic parts, and multilayer ceramic capacitors   

本發明關於一種導電性漿料、電子零件以及層積陶瓷電容器。 The present invention relates to a conductive paste, an electronic component, and a laminated ceramic capacitor.

伴隨行動電話、數位設備等電子設備的小型化以及高性能化,對於包含層積陶瓷電容器等的電子零件亦期望小型化以及高容量化。層積陶瓷電容器具有將複數個電介質層及複數個內部電極層交替疊層而成的結構,藉由使前述電介質層以及內部電極層薄膜化而能夠實現小型化以及高容量化。 Along with miniaturization and high performance of electronic devices such as mobile phones and digital devices, miniaturization and high capacity of electronic components including laminated ceramic capacitors are also desired. A multilayer ceramic capacitor has a structure in which a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrode layers are alternately laminated. By reducing the thickness of the dielectric layer and the internal electrode layer, miniaturization and high capacity can be achieved.

例如,可藉由如下方式來製造層積陶瓷電容器。首先,在含有鈦酸鋇(BaTiO3)等電介質粉末以及黏合劑樹脂的電介質生片的表面上,以規定的電極圖案印刷(塗佈)內部電極用的導電性漿料,並進行乾燥而形成乾燥膜。接著,以使乾燥膜及電介質生片交替地重疊的方式進行層疊,進行加熱壓接而使其一體化,從而形成壓接體。將該壓接體切斷,在氧化性氣體環境或惰性氣體環境中進行脫有機黏合劑處理之後進行燒製,得到燒製晶片(層積體)。接著,在燒製晶片(層積體)的兩端部塗佈外部電極用漿料,在燒製後,在外部電極表面實施鍍鎳等,從而得到層 積陶瓷電容器。 For example, a laminated ceramic capacitor can be manufactured as follows. First, a conductive paste for internal electrodes is printed (coated) with a predetermined electrode pattern on the surface of a dielectric green sheet containing a dielectric powder such as barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) and a binder resin, and dried to form Dry the film. Next, the dry film and the dielectric green sheet are laminated alternately, and are heat-pressed and integrated to form a pressure-bonded body. This pressure-bonded body is cut, and the organic binder is removed in an oxidizing gas atmosphere or an inert gas atmosphere, followed by firing to obtain a fired wafer (layered body). Next, a slurry for external electrodes is applied to both ends of the fired wafer (layered body), and after firing, nickel plating or the like is performed on the surface of the external electrode to obtain a laminated ceramic capacitor.

一般而言,用於形成內部電極的導電性漿料含有導電性粉末、陶瓷粉末、黏合劑樹脂以及有機溶劑。另外,為了提高導電性粉末等的分散性,導電性漿料有時含有分散劑。伴隨近年來的內部電極層的薄膜化,導電性粉末亦存在小粒徑化的傾向。在導電性粉末的粒徑較小的情況下,其顆粒表面的比表面積變大,因此導電性粉末(金屬粉末)的表面活性變高,存在分散性降低、黏度特性降低的情況。 Generally, a conductive paste for forming an internal electrode contains a conductive powder, a ceramic powder, a binder resin, and an organic solvent. In order to improve the dispersibility of the conductive powder and the like, the conductive paste may contain a dispersant. With the recent reduction in the thickness of the internal electrode layer, the conductive powder tends to have a smaller particle size. When the particle size of the conductive powder is small, the specific surface area of the particle surface becomes large, so the surface activity of the conductive powder (metal powder) becomes high, and the dispersibility and viscosity characteristics may be lowered.

因此,嘗試對導電性漿料的隨時間的黏度特性進行改善。例如,在專利文獻1中記載一種導電性漿料,其至少含有金屬成分、氧化物、分散劑及黏合劑樹脂,金屬成分係其表面組成具有特定的組成比的Ni粉末,分散劑的酸點量為500~2000μmol/g,黏合劑樹脂的酸點量為15~100μmol/g。而且,根據專利文獻1,該導電性漿料具有良好的分散性及黏度穩定性。 Therefore, attempts have been made to improve the viscosity characteristics of the conductive paste over time. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes a conductive paste containing at least a metal component, an oxide, a dispersant, and a binder resin. The metal component is a Ni powder whose surface composition has a specific composition ratio, and an acid point of the dispersant. The amount is 500 to 2000 μmol / g, and the acid point amount of the binder resin is 15 to 100 μmol / g. Furthermore, according to Patent Document 1, the conductive paste has good dispersibility and viscosity stability.

另外,在專利文獻2中記載一種內部電極用導電性漿料,其由導電性粉末、樹脂、有機溶劑、以BaTiO3為主的陶瓷粉末的共材以及凝集抑制劑構成,其中,前述凝集抑制劑的含量為0.1重量%以上5重量%以下,前述凝集抑制劑係以特定的結構式表示的叔胺或仲胺。根據專利文獻2,該內部電極用導電漿料抑制共材成分的凝集,長期保管性優異,能夠實現層疊陶瓷電容器的薄膜化。 In addition, Patent Document 2 describes a conductive paste for internal electrodes, which is composed of a common material of a conductive powder, a resin, an organic solvent, a ceramic powder mainly composed of BaTiO 3 , and an aggregation inhibitor. The content of the agent is 0.1% by weight or more and 5% by weight or less. The agglutination inhibitor is a tertiary or secondary amine represented by a specific structural formula. According to Patent Document 2, this conductive paste for internal electrodes suppresses agglomeration of a common material component, is excellent in long-term storage, and can realize a thin film of a multilayer ceramic capacitor.

另一方面,在使內部電極層薄膜化時,要求藉由在電介質生片表面上印刷導電性漿料並乾燥而得到的乾燥膜具有較高的密度。例如,在專利文獻3中提出一種金屬超微粉漿料,其含有有機溶劑、表面活 性劑以及金屬超微顆粒,其中,前述表面活性劑為油醯肌胺酸,在前述金屬超微粉漿料中,含有70質量%以上95質量%以下的前述金屬超微粉,以前述金屬超微粉為100質量份計,含有超過0.05質量份且不足2.0質量份的前述表面活性劑。根據專利文獻3,藉由防止超微顆粒的凝集,能夠得到不存在凝聚顆粒的、分散性以及乾燥膜密度優異的金屬超微粉漿料。 On the other hand, when the internal electrode layer is formed into a thin film, a dried film obtained by printing a conductive paste on the surface of a dielectric green sheet and drying the film is required to have a high density. For example, Patent Document 3 proposes a metal ultrafine powder slurry containing an organic solvent, a surfactant, and metal ultrafine particles, wherein the surfactant is oleosine sarcosine, and the metal ultrafine powder slurry It contains 70% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less of the aforementioned metal ultrafine powder. Based on 100 parts by mass of the aforementioned metal ultrafine powder, it contains more than 0.05 parts by mass and less than 2.0 parts by mass of the aforementioned surfactant. According to Patent Document 3, by preventing aggregation of ultrafine particles, a metal ultrafine powder slurry having excellent dispersibility and dry film density without agglomerated particles can be obtained.

(導電性漿料) (Conductive paste)

對本實施型態的導電性漿料的製造方法無特別限定,可使用以往習知的方法。例如,可藉由將上述各成分(導電性粉末、陶瓷粉末、分散劑、黏合劑樹脂、有機溶劑等)進行混合(攪拌、混煉)來製造導電性漿料。此外,在混合(攪拌、混煉)中使用的裝置無特別限定,例如可使用三輥磨、球磨機、混合機等。 The manufacturing method of the electrically conductive paste of this embodiment is not specifically limited, A conventionally well-known method can be used. For example, the conductive paste can be produced by mixing (stirring, kneading) the respective components (conductive powder, ceramic powder, dispersant, binder resin, organic solvent, etc.) described above. The device used for mixing (stirring, kneading) is not particularly limited, and for example, a three-roll mill, a ball mill, a mixer, or the like can be used.

上述各材料可同時混合,例如,可以在預先將導電性粉末、分散劑的一部分或者全部與有機溶劑的一部分混合而製備導電性粉末漿料之後將剩餘的材料混合。藉此,能夠預先在導電性粉末表面塗佈分散劑。若在導電性粉末的表面預先塗佈有分散劑,則在與其他材料進行混合來製造導電性漿料時,導電性粉末亦不會凝集而維持充分地分散的狀態,容易得到均勻的導電性漿料。 The above materials may be mixed at the same time. For example, a conductive powder, a part of the dispersant, or all of them may be mixed with a part of the organic solvent in advance to prepare a conductive powder slurry, and the remaining materials may be mixed. This makes it possible to apply a dispersant to the surface of the conductive powder in advance. If the surface of the conductive powder is coated with a dispersant in advance, the conductive powder will not aggregate and maintain a sufficiently dispersed state when it is mixed with other materials to produce a conductive paste, and it is easy to obtain uniform conductivity. Slurry.

例如,以導電性粉末為100質量份計,可混合0.01質量份以上且不足5質量份、理想為0.1質量份以上3質量份以下的分散劑來製備導電性粉末漿料。此外,導電性粉末漿料中的分散劑以及有機溶劑的含量可根據導電性粉末漿料的粒徑、含量等適當進行調整。另外,作為導電性粉末漿料的製造方法,無特別限定,可使用通常的混煉方法。 For example, based on 100 parts by mass of the conductive powder, a dispersant of 0.01 parts by mass or more and less than 5 parts by mass, and preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more and 3 parts by mass or less may be mixed to prepare a conductive powder slurry. In addition, the content of the dispersant and the organic solvent in the conductive powder slurry can be appropriately adjusted according to the particle diameter, content, and the like of the conductive powder slurry. The method for producing the conductive powder slurry is not particularly limited, and a general kneading method can be used.

另外,例如可以在預先將陶瓷粉末、分散劑的一部分與有機溶劑的一部分混合而製備陶瓷粉末漿料之後將剩餘的材料混合。藉此,能夠預先在陶瓷粉末上塗佈分散劑。若在陶瓷粉末表面預先塗佈有分散劑,則在與其他材料進行混合來製造導電性漿料時,陶瓷粉末亦不會凝集而維持充分地分散的狀態,容易得到均勻的導電性漿料。 In addition, for example, a part of the ceramic powder and a dispersant may be mixed with a part of the organic solvent in advance to prepare a ceramic powder slurry, and the remaining materials may be mixed. This makes it possible to apply a dispersant to the ceramic powder in advance. If a dispersant is coated on the surface of the ceramic powder in advance, the ceramic powder will not aggregate and maintain a sufficiently dispersed state when it is mixed with other materials to produce a conductive paste, and it is easy to obtain a uniform conductive paste.

例如,以陶瓷粉末為100質量份計,可混合0.01質量份以上10質量份以下、理想為0.1質量份以上5質量份以下的分散劑來製備陶瓷粉末漿料。此外,陶瓷粉末漿料中的分散劑以及有機溶劑的含量可根據陶瓷粉末的粒徑、含量等進行適當調整。另外,作為陶瓷粉末漿料的製造方法,無特別限定,可使用通常的混煉方法。 For example, based on 100 parts by mass of the ceramic powder, a dispersant of 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, and preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass may be mixed to prepare a ceramic powder slurry. In addition, the content of the dispersant and the organic solvent in the ceramic powder slurry can be appropriately adjusted according to the particle diameter, content, and the like of the ceramic powder. The method for producing the ceramic powder slurry is not particularly limited, and a general kneading method can be used.

此外,在製備導電性漿料時使用的導電性粉末漿料以及陶瓷粉末漿料的黏度只要為120Pa‧S以下左右,便無實際使用上之問題。導電性粉末漿料以及陶瓷粉末漿料的黏度,可根據有機溶劑的含量來進行調整。此外,作為分散劑而使用上述酸系分散劑的情況下,導電性粉末以及陶瓷粉末的分散性優異,因此在漿料黏度的調整中無須大量的有機溶劑,在製備內部電極時,能夠縮短乾燥時間,亦不易產生有機溶劑殘留等問題。 In addition, as long as the viscosity of the conductive powder slurry and the ceramic powder slurry used in preparing the conductive slurry is about 120 Pa · S or less, there is no problem in practical use. The viscosity of the conductive powder slurry and the ceramic powder slurry can be adjusted according to the content of the organic solvent. In addition, when the above-mentioned acid-based dispersant is used as a dispersant, the dispersibility of the conductive powder and the ceramic powder is excellent. Therefore, a large amount of an organic solvent is not necessary for adjusting the viscosity of the slurry, and the drying can be shortened when preparing the internal electrode. In time, it is not easy to cause problems such as residual organic solvents.

另外,亦可為,將黏合劑樹脂溶解於載體用的有機溶劑中來製備有機載體,並向漿料用的有機溶劑中添加導電性粉末、陶瓷粉末、有機載體以及分散劑,藉由混合機進行攪拌、混煉,從而製備導電性漿料。 Alternatively, an organic vehicle may be prepared by dissolving the binder resin in an organic solvent for the vehicle, and adding conductive powder, ceramic powder, an organic vehicle, and a dispersant to the organic solvent for the slurry, and using a mixer. The conductive paste is prepared by stirring and kneading.

另外,在有機溶劑中,作為載體用的有機溶劑,為了提高有機載體的親和性,理想為使用與調整導電性漿料的黏度的漿料用的有機溶劑相同的有機溶劑。載體用的有機溶劑的含量,以導電性粉末為100質量份計,例如為5質量份以上80質量份以下。另外,載體用的有機溶劑的含量,相對於導電性漿料整體,理想為10質量%以上40質量%以下。 Among organic solvents, as the organic solvent for the carrier, in order to improve the affinity of the organic carrier, it is desirable to use the same organic solvent as the organic solvent for the paste for adjusting the viscosity of the conductive paste. The content of the organic solvent for the carrier is 100 parts by mass of the conductive powder, and is, for example, 5 parts by mass or more and 80 parts by mass or less. The content of the organic solvent for the carrier is preferably 10% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less with respect to the entire conductive paste.

導電性漿料在從製造導電性漿料起經過24小時後的黏度理想為10Pa‧s以上50Pa˙s以下。 The viscosity of the conductive paste after 24 hours from the production of the conductive paste is preferably 10 Pa · s or more and 50 Pa · s or less.

It is particularly preferably 5.6 g / cm 3 or more. The upper limit of the dry film density (DFD) is not particularly limited, and may be 6.5 g / cm 3 or less.

The conductive powder slurry for evaluation was prepared by the mixing ratio described in Test 1 described later, and the viscosity after 1 hour was measured using a B-type viscometer manufactured by Brookfield Co., Ltd. under the conditions of 10 rpm (shear rate = 4 sec -1 ). When the dispersibility of the conductive powder slurry is insufficient, the conductive powder (powder material) aggregates to form aggregated particles, and the viscosity of the conductive powder slurry increases due to the influence of the aggregated particles. Therefore, the lower the viscosity of the conductive powder slurry, the better the dispersibility.

(陶瓷粉末漿料的分散性) (Dispersibility of ceramic powder slurry)

The ceramic powder slurry for evaluation was prepared by the mixing ratio described in Test 1 described later, and the viscosity after 1 hour of preparation was measured using a B-type viscometer manufactured by Brookfield Co., Ltd. under the conditions of 10 rpm (shear rate = 4 sec -1 ). When the dispersibility of the ceramic powder slurry is insufficient, the ceramic powder (powder material) is aggregated to form aggregated particles, and the viscosity of the ceramic powder slurry is increased. Therefore, the lower the viscosity of the ceramic powder slurry, the better the dispersibility.

製備導電性漿料,使用Brookfield公司製造的B型黏度計以10rpm(剪切速率=4sec-1)的條件測定製備後經過24小時後的黏度。在導電性漿料的分散性不足的情況下,導電性粉末、陶瓷粉末(粉末材料)凝集而形成凝集顆粒,使導電性漿料的黏度上升。因而,導電性漿料的黏度在適合於印刷的黏度範圍內越低,則表明分散性越優異。 A conductive paste was prepared, and the viscosity after 24 hours after preparation was measured using a B-type viscometer manufactured by Brookfield under the conditions of 10 rpm (shear rate = 4sec -1 ). When the dispersibility of the conductive paste is insufficient, the conductive powder and ceramic powder (powder material) are aggregated to form aggregated particles, and the viscosity of the conductive paste is increased. Therefore, the lower the viscosity of the conductive paste within the viscosity range suitable for printing, the better the dispersibility.
